Halfords are pretty on the ball with child safety seats. In addition to this, all stores are provided with a fitting catalogue which details any difficulties or additional accessories that will be needed when doing a variety of fittings. (Stereos, light-bulbs, child-seats etc.)

The Maxi Cosi is priced competitively and I wouldn't worry about eliteist opinions. It isn't Halfords branded and you can fit it as opposed to them. So you're not "selling out" by going to Halfords :D

Have fun.

Hi, I have a Maxi Cosi, Black with silver trim, exactly the same as the seats in my Leon, so really blends in.

They fit in just fine, though I dont use the Iso-fix just the seat-belt.
They do leave a crease-mark on the seat bolsters when you take them out but it does go away after a while.

I got mine from Halfrauds over a year ago, not sure if they still do them, shouldnt cost you more than £100 i would say. They are definately worth it IMO.

They do still do them. I worked there pre-Uni and then while at Uni, just a different store.

They were selling them as recently as October and their auto-safety range won't of changed since then. Unless, of course, you manage to find an out of stock store. If this happens, do not believe them when they give you a delivery date. They've almost no way of gauranteeing delivery.

Nice :D They're open almost across the board till 8pm.. so perhaps take a drive after work or whatever to another store? (Any excuse for a drive IMO).

I was going to say, actually, the Cosi was almost always the focus of a sale or offer, mainly because it's their best selling seat. Maybe try eBay?

Niceness. Should get her a leather BMW sponsors jacket also :D Then she can really be part of the car-click. :p

Seriously though, I spent many lunch break, shoe-horned into a 12months-and-up Recaro child-seat. So comfy....!

I have the Britax First Class, great Seat for a Seat LOL

I have fitted this fine in all my cars (Audi S3/Mondeo ST220/Volvo S60) and now the Leon FR, the colour is Black and Silver so matches with the interior of my FR also.

Forward and rear facing and not a bad price at the moment.

Hope this helps.

Hello :) What was your honest impression on the ST220? Fan or not? I've been umming and ahhing over them since last year. Mainly as a commuting/work-horse car with enough guts to put a smile on my face.

Just short of owner-opinions though. Whatcha think?

Superb, probably the best car I have owned and I have owned a BMW 328I Sport /Audi S3/Passat Highline/Volvo S60 etc etc.

Super build, coilovers on all 4 corners, the car hadles very well for the size and is as quick as the 328, but has 4 doors and a huge boot LOL

I had a facelift version (oct 2003 >) and had the DVD touch Screen Nav, Infra Red Recaro's (looks great with Silver paint) standard toys are excellent, heated electric recaros, auto wipers, lights, dim mirror, electric everything etc.

I would get one but not as a commuter car as the 3.0 V6 is very thristy, I used to get around 215 miles from a tank, £60 to fill!

It will put a smile on your face though :) and the sound is awsome!

Would not hesitate to have another one, but maybee in the St TDCi 2.2 150bhp diesel version as a commuter.

Here are some pics of my old baby, now lives in Scotland :(
